''The Charleston Gazette-Mail'' is the only daily morning newspaper in Charleston, West Virginia. It is the product of a July 2015 merger between the Charleston Gazette and the Charleston Daily Mail. ==Charleston Gazette== The ''Gazette'' traces its roots to 1873. At the time, it was a weekly newspaper known as the ''Kanawha Chronicle''. It was later renamed ''The Kanawha Gazette'' and the ''Daily Gazette''—before its name was officially changed to ''The Charleston Gazette'' in 1907. In 1912 it came under the control of the wealthy Chilton family, who have owned it ever since. William E. Chilton, a U.S. senator, was publisher of ''The Gazette'', as were his son, William E. Chilton II, and grandson, Ned Chilton, Yale graduate and classmate/protégé of conservative columnist William F. Buckley, Jr.. Ironically, the paper, otherwise on the left, carried Buckley's column until Buckley's death. In 1918 a fire destroyed the ''Gazette'' building at 909 Virginia St. The newspaper was moved to 227 Hale St., where it remained for 42 years. Ned Chilton used to claim that the job of a newspaper was to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." The newspaper's liberal reputation was enhanced by principal editorial writer and columnist L.T. Anderson, associate editor and two-time runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize. ==Charleston Daily Mail== The Daily Mail was founded in 1914 by former Alaska Governor Walter Eli Clark and remained the property of his heirs until 1987. Governor Clark described the newspaper as an "independent Republican" publication. In 1987, the Clark heirs sold the paper to the Toronto based Thomson Newspapers. The new owners moderated the political views of the paper to some degree. In 1998, Thomson sold the Daily Mail to the Denver-based MediaNews Group. The newspaper published in the afternoons, Monday-Saturday, with a Sunday morning edition, until 1961; Monday - Saturday afternoons from 1961-2005, Monday - Friday afternoons from 2005-2006, and Monday - Friday mornings from 2006-2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charleston Gazette-Mail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
